Guess I'm still a newb, but I was on the content when before it was a pay site. Was a looker on the forum for a few years before I signed up, and put on my flame proof suit before wading in (things were much tougher back then [2011])

My original name was ballhawgs or something stupid like that. I think I started not long after the first board upgrade? It's been so long I can't really remember. I was an original member in 32 Homer's, which was formed in 2001, but I was here a year or two before that.

32 Homers OG too. Someone took the Dolphins before I had the chance, so I took the Raiders for a year.

The Huddle was a free site from opening in 1997 until June of 2000. That was when the internet advertising fell apart and we were killing ourselves and losing money doing it. So we started charging in June of 2000 on the premise we'd do it for one year and if we made no money we'd quit. But we made money. Which was cool. So we kept going as pay site from 2000 - It was $12 a year when we started.

Okay, so I was here a couple years before this went to a pay site and the Who Do I Start list was only partial at that time. I'm not a very vocal forum guy, but subscribe every year. Before The Huddle, I bought, as I'm sure many of you did, some magazine with a players list. The Huddle eliminated that magazine and was a heck of a lot more current, that's pretty obvious, but it's been so long ago, I hadn't thought about the magazine days for quite some time.
